Other notes from the meeting

- Several motions and votes were resolved by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" or "Nay" but did not provide roll-call tallies or individual council votes in most cases. When applicants paid outstanding amounts prior to scheduled nonrenewal hearings, the council approved renewals rather than holding separate hearings.

- Where the transcript includes numeric details that appear inconsistent (for example, the $10.26 sale price and the date "March 2335" for an appointment effective date), the minutes record those values as stated; those items should be verified in the city clerk's official files for accuracy before publication or use in administrative actions.
